Weißkeißel Coat of Arms

Shield Vert a grain sheaf Or, flanches Argent, the dexter one charged with an attire Sable in pale, the sinister one with four linden leaves Vert stemmed Sable in pale.
Meaning:
The village was first mentioned on 21 September 1452 in a charter, in which Count Wenzel of Bieberstein granted city rights to Muskau. The sheaf is symbolising the rural character. The attire is a differentiation of the arms of the counts. The leaves are representing the settlement cores of Weißkeißel proper, Haide, Kaupen and Bresina.
